Principal's Message

Hello Bulldogs!

Hello Bulldogs! I hope your Halloween fun wasn’t too spooky! We are looking forward to an amazing week focused on learning. First grade has a field trip to the Solar Bears game on Tuesday, November 4. Don’t forget to pack a jacket! Also, if you didn’t love your child’s first round of pictures, we have a picture make-up day on Thursday, November 6. Please make sure to send in the original pack of photos or some indication that you would like your child to have their picture retaken. Any new students or absent students from the original day will have their picture taken so we have it for the yearbook.

Shout out to Mr. Powers for volunteering to pressure wash the marquee near the walker area. It looks amazing now!

Short and sweet this week 🙂 Our bulldogs are working hard so far and making some great progress so let’s keep it up! Remember, EVERY day is GAME day! 
Gratefully,

Mrs. Bethany Ledesma
Principal, Brookshire Elementary
